Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Forbidden Obsession: Taming My Son's Ex: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

[Avery’s POV]Hours later, I stumble out of the hospital feeling like my body is on autopilot, and all I can do is go along with where it wants to take me.When I reach my car, I pull out my phone and turn it on, only to find that I don’t have any missed calls or text messages. Did that mean that Atlas hadn’t actually found Tonia yet, or was this a sign that I was about to be tossed to the curb?Trying not to think of the latter, I begin to drive until I find myself in the parking garage of Atlas’ condo.Pulling down my visor, I take in my puffy pink eyes and tear-stained skin and begin to swipe at the evidence of my devastation.Once I feel that my appearance is acceptable, I get out and begin to head up to where the only person I want to see is waiting while trying to stop myself from turning and running away.Even though I wanted to believe in Atlas, I couldn’t stop the terror I felt over finding him with Tonia and being told that I was only a filler, like Gregory had told me earli

[Atlas’ POV]"Why are you suddenly on her side?"Everything that was going on wasn’t making any sense. First, Tonia reappears out of nowhere when I go public with my relationship with Avery, and now my own father, the very man who opposed our relationship, is demanding that I make it work."You were the one that didn’t want us together from the very start. What has changed now?""You’ll find out soon enough," my father responds. "Until then, forget that girl you’ve been screwing around with. She isn’t good for you, and I won’t allow her to stay by your side.""And what makes you think I’ll believe your threat? You may be crazy, but you aren’t looking to be in jail for the rest of your life for murder."This was insane, and I didn’t have the patience to put up with it. I needed to get the fuck out of here and get to Avery before she decided to disappear from my life entirely.As this thought hits, a commotion breaks out outside."What the hell?" I hiss, rushing forward and yanking the

[Avery’s POV]I sit on the side of Aiden’s bed, taking in his flushed pink cheeks. When the morning started, he had been just fine, but now he was running a high fever and had been sent home from daycare. After a quick doctor's visit to confirm it had nothing to do with his illness from infancy, I brought him home and tucked him in, and he immediately fell asleep.Sighing, I run a hand along his head, pushing back the dark hair there as I continue to take him in.How was it possible that he was already four?Time has most certainly flown since the day I lost everything and began to rebuild my life, but in the end, I was in a much better place than that woman back then.To say that life was rough after I left the city was an understatement. From being pregnant and taking classes on interior design to kick-starting my company on my own despite Gregory's insisting that he would help,In the end, Gregory stayed with me until after I had Aiden to help me settle down in my new home. After t

[Atlas’ POV]The next day, I sit at my desk, looking over the designs for The Franklin, before meeting with Miss King later. I was amazed at how quickly our meeting was scheduled, but I also appreciated the promptness of wanting to complete the project.Sighing, I sit back in my seat just as my door flies open and Dean appears with a look of urgency on his face."Atlas!" He gasps, stopping in front of my desk and panting. "Have you seen the news?""News?" I repeat, raising a brow. "No, I haven’t. And why would whether or not I had made you barge into my office like this?""This!" He continues, pulling his phone from his pocket and shoving it toward me. "Look!"Frowning, I peer down at the screen in front of me and feel my heart do a painful flip as I take in the photo that Dean wanted me to see."How?" I hiss, first taking in Gregory, who cradles a little boy in his arms, before turning my gaze to the woman that is with them. "This can’t be.""What are the chances?" Dean pushes. "She

[Atlas' POV]"He is yours."Avery's words are like a slap in the face that leaves me in utter disbelief and shock.Mine… The boy that the news was claiming belonged to Gregory was mine. But not only mine. He was also Avery's. We had a child.How was this even possible? Not only was Avery alive, but she was even thriving, and she brought a little miracle with her."He's mine," I murmur, testing the words on my tongue. "The chi… I mean, Aiden, he is mine.""That's right," Avery confirms while Gregory remains silent."That's… Wonderful," I manage, trying to make sense of the emotions I was trying to process. "Then we can...""Not we," Avery corrects, her voice harsh. "There is no we.""Right," I sigh. "But why exactly is that?"Now that I knew she didn't die all those years ago, I was left with the question of why she left.What happened back then made her disappear entirely, hiding not only her location but even a child."Are you really asking me that?""I am," I confirm. "I think I am
